If you’re suffering from neck pain, consider visiting an orthopedic
surgeon near Miami to determine the underlying causes. One of the most
common causes of chronic neck pain is poor posture. If you spend a great
deal of time sitting, make sure you choose a chair with proper lumbar
support. Position your computer monitor or reading materials just below
eye level to keep your neck and back in a neutral position. In the meantime,
an orthopedic surgeon may recommend relieving your neck pain by
injecting a cervical epidural steroid drug.

You can hear more about chronic neck pain and its potential causes by watching
